The Norton Anthology of American Literature
Package 2: Volumes C, D & E: 1865 to present
There are several anthologies of American literature. Only one is a Norton.
Firmly grounded in the core strengths that have made it the best-selling undergraduate survey in the field, The Norton Anthology of American Literature has been revitalized in this Seventh Edition through the collaboration between three new period editors and five seasoned ones. Under Nina Baym's direction, the editors have considered afresh each selection and all the apparatus to make the anthology an even better teaching tool.
